Discover the transformative insights of Paul LeBlanc, the former president of Southern New Hampshire University, as we explore the cutting edge of competency-based higher education in our latest podcast. Paul, a trailblazer in online education, shares the intricacies of SNHU's model which prioritizes competencies and aligns closely with the evolving job market. This episode promises to peel back the layers of traditional education and reveal how a focus on real-world skills over coursework is preparing students for success in a competitive workforce.

The conversation takes a turn towards the future as we unpack the implications of AI on the job landscape. With technologies like AI and ChatGPT reshaping industries, we're forced to confront the reality of '10x' professionals who amplify their productivity through these tools. Paul and I wade into the ethical waters of AI's role in job displacement and the urgent need for innovative retraining. We discuss how educational institutions might adapt, not only to the technology itself but to the new kinds of questions and problem-solving skills that will become essential in an AI-driven world.

Wrapping up, we cast our gaze forward into the intersection of work, education, and AI integration, discussing how our valuation of jobs and skillsets must adapt. We ponder over the redefinition of knowledge creation, the necessity of interdisciplinary approaches in education, and the potential for AI to democratize educational relationships. Join us for an episode that's less about the 'what' of AI and education and more about the 'how' and 'why' as we navigate the shifting tides of the digital age with Paul LeBlanc.

Deepfakes. Everyone has seen a deepfake by now, whether consciously or unconsciously. They’ve taken the digital world by storm and their rapid spread on social media is out of control.

World leaders everywhere have been racking their brains trying to draft deepfake legislation that would curb the spread of disinformation. In the meantime, there are other pressing questions that warrant a discussion. Does the prohibition of deepfakes mean a clampdown on free expression?
